mind elaborating? however, given your posting history you go by [M] in your pornography posts and are clearly amab, I don’t think you are the target to this question.
First of all I agree with the other poster that it doesn’t make much of a difference how you call it since it doesn’t have “feelings” (and you can’t talk to “it” in the first place). However I believe that one should strive for internal consistency in one’s way of communicating and should apply the same principles (calling people or things that might have had a different name in the past by the name they chose to give themselves from now on).
Second of all, and this is more about the company, there simply is no such thing as “Twitter” anymore, it doesn’t exist, so calling X that way is just factually incorrect.
I appreciate that I am rather removed from the original context of the question and have no affiliation to the trans community, where this question has more gravity, but nevertheless think that your question has a very clear answer. Then again, you cannot hurt a company in the same way you can hurt a sentient being so everyone should feel free to ignore what I wrote and just call it whatever one likes.
Sorry for rambling this has gotten longer than I intended to.
